Let’s be real. The biggest mistake managers make when developing their people is that they don’t spend enough time doing it. Or, even worse, aren’t spending any time at all.

My guess is that your answer is less than half or at least “not enough of them.”. Delivering on strategic initiatives on time, every time, is the hallmark of organizations that are best in the world at executing strategy, and they’re rewarded with a premium put on the value of their company. Organizations that can’t deliver on their strategic initiatives fail at executing their strategy, and organizations that fail at executing strategy will not survive.

Note: Today I’m pleased to present a preview excerpt from my book manuscript of “More Human: A Journey To The Heart Of Great Leadership” It’s a personal story illustrating the importance of knowing the time for leaders to “let go” of control, and to pass the torch to new and deserving leaders, a process I call “leading your way out of a job” Names have been changed for the privacy of those involved in the story.

This is the typical, “I can’t stand my job and I love my weekends behavior” Face it, you are going to spend a LOT more time at work during the week — start enjoying that environment too.

I’m normally not a stage fright kind of girl, I always love a good microphone.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

Guest post from Michael Lee Stallard: Company culture is a hot topic among today’s leaders, and rightfully so. Because it influences how colleagues relate, or fail to relate, to each other, culture affects the effectiveness of teams and business units, ultimately influencing the bottom line.

I’ve been a student of leadership for over five decades. I learn every day from leaders – but my foundational learning came from four gentlemen. I spent fifteen years in non-profit management. I had some good bosses, some OK bosses, one great boss, and three really lousy bosses. One of my lousy bosses made grand promises – to staff members, to volunteers, to customers; yet he kept few of his commitments.

Seeing Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Scarlett Johnansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury was amazing. I don’t believe it was as great as everyone said it was but it was still enjoyable.
